March 2008 Winner: Dark Room

Buddha Jones · 03-29-2008, 03:18 PM

Imetered on the window and then shot it massively underexposed to black out the room. Slightly touched up in Lightroom.

I really liked this one, Buddha. May I suggest that your negative space might have benefitted from a small object placed in the right, lower third, of the image?

Good job! Got my vote

Buddha Jones · 04-09-2008, 05:41 PM

Funnny, but in the original there was a little bit of the bed in that very spot that I blackened out in PP.

KrisK10D · 04-10-2008, 06:42 AM

Maybe if I squint

Buddha Jones · 04-10-2008, 12:19 PM

I want to go back and take the same shot but this time have someone kneeling in front of the window so that there is light on their face but then blacked out right behind them like the room is.

KrisK10D · 04-15-2008, 04:45 AM

Why don't you. Sounds like it'd be a great shot

séamuis · 04-15-2008, 10:04 AM

I like it, well done.

Cuz the window is in Atlanta and I am in Charlotte... It will happen eventually.

Nice one! I love this sort of abstraction. Well executed!

You don't have windows in Charlotte?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I have a gaming buddy in Charlotte

NICE!! I guess you have a point. I was thinking of what KrisK10d said about something in the oposite corner. I think I should of left it there so people dont think I just added a bunch of black space to the image, or dropped a window into a black background, but it was actually a picture.

Buddha Jones · 04-20-2008, 06:21 PM

Holy crap, I actually won this thing? Well thanks very much for all whom voted for me and thanks to everyone who submitted for this months contest, it was the largest turnout we have had to date, very well done.
